relentless growth
another patch of forest levelled
for the inexhaustible appetite
of this young nation
approaching super aged status
with little care
for those birds squirrels snails and lizards
that called that patch home
nor for the poet's heart
that sought solace here
I've been gone too long
I never got to bade farewell
to the kingfishers and woodpeckers
I do not see today
they must have sensed change awhile back
I hope they have found a new home
